Hi Brandie, I too am 1 week post op. Had my open Rny on May 30th. Glad you can start different things tomorrow, my dr requires two weeks of clear liquids..ugh! I did have some unsweetened applesauce and a small thing of cream of wheat. It is amazing how so little will satisfy isn't it? I am still in some pain but each day it gets less and less. Still taking the pain meds...call me a wimp I guess. So far so good though, no complications or vomiting. have lost 15lbs so far. I too wondered if I had made the right decision soon after surgery..oh did it hurt! Each day is better though..Today was a down day where I cried all day but tonight I am feeling better. I hope you continue to do well in your journey and before you know it you are going to Look AWESOME!!! Someone posted this saying awhile ago and I keep remembering it when I get down. It said, "If God Brought you to it, God will bring you through it" We're going to be just fine... Take care and God Bless!!! *****HUGS******

I thought I'd stop in and say I hope your surgery went well, you have very little pain, and you are up and running in no time. Cathy Whitmer

You will love your new life and it will be worth the pain and wait. You will live life instead of it passing you by. Here's to a speedy recovery time.

******update******* I talked with Brandie late last night.. She sounded really good... She says it still seems like a dream.. like she hasn't really done what she just did... like it's not real yet... talked to her for about 1/2.. then she said "I just pushed the button, so I am going to start fading out here...." She is so funny... Anyway, she is a LOSER now.. Every one welcome her to the club.. I wish I was there myself!!

Small update here... just talked to the nurse.. Brandie is coming out of the OR and going into recovery... she should be to her room around 5 or 5:30.. she is in room #216... Sorry, that is all I have to report... but, <b>she is on the other side!!!</b>
